ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
The Forest Has Always Had a Language
Long before written alphabets, the ancient Celts encoded the wisdom of the natural world into the Ogham — a sacred system of marks, each one named for a tree and carrying the living intelligence of that tree's spirit, medicine, and mystery.
In this 90-minute workshop, you'll take your first steps into this living alphabet. We'll explore the origins of the Ogham and its Druidic roots, go deep with three sacred trees and their few (the Ogham character), and journey to receive a message from the forest in your own language.
This workshop stands beautifully on its own, and also follows naturally from Listening to the Trees. No prior experience is required — only curiosity and a willingness to be surprised by what the trees have to say.

ABOUT THE FIRST WORKSHOP
Trees have been companions, teachers, and allies to humans since the beginning of time. In the world of the ancient Druids, they were the keepers of memory, the threshold between worlds, and the most reliable of oracles. They still are, if we know how to listen.
In this 90-minute introductory workshop, you'll take your first steps into the practice of tree magic: learning to sense a tree's presence, recognize when a tree is calling to you, and begin building a relationship with a tree as a living spiritual ally. No prior experience is required, only an open heart and a willingness to be received by the green world.
This workshop stands alone as a meaningful and complete experience, and also serves as a natural doorway into deeper work for those who feel the call.
